Valencia is a vibrant city with a modern museum complex in the dry river bed of the Rio Turia. The old city, particularly Barrio del Carmen, is very beautifull. Many good restaurants and a busy street nightlife.
Fallas Fiestas in March. Valencia celebrates an incredible build and burn sculpture competition where local neighbourhood groups construct large, street structures which are viewed by over a million visitors daily, judged, then burnt, all except the winning exibit.
